My background and statistics:
I am 23 years old, a first generation college student, and will have a B.A. in biology if and when I'm accepted. I will be applying in June of 2016. I currently have 112 college credits completed, and am still taking courses.
My first 59 credits were taken at a community college, last 53 at a university.
My overall GPA is currently 3.34 and my science GPA approximately 3.26. My subpar GPA is due to my first 28 credits at a community college, in which my overall and science GPA were about 2.5. Since then, I've maintained an average overall GPA of about 3.61 and a science GPA of 3.56. When I apply to dental school, my overall and science GPA will be about 3.4.
Unfortunately, I made the mistake of taking biology I and II, as well as general chemistry I at a CC (these were part of my first 28 credits). However, my entire time at university I've taken nothing but a full-time course load of science courses (intro to organic and biochemistry, general chemistry II [with lab.], human physiology, organic chemistry I and II [with lab.], biochemistry I and II, genetics [with lab.], general microbiology, physics I and II [with lab.], evolutionary biology, botany, biostatistics, scientific inquiry and communications, human anatomy, advanced human physiology, and histology) averaging a GPA of 3.56 for these classes.
DAT scores:
PAT: 17
QR: 21
RC: 21
BO: 25
GC: 26
OC: 22
TS: 24
AA: 23
I will have 2 LORs from science professors and 1 LOR from a dentist when I apply, along with 100+ shadowing hours and 100+ volunteering hours.
Which of the following schools should I cross off?:
Creighton
Midwestern AZ.
New England
Tufts
Missouri
U Penn.
Roseman
LECOM
Louisville
Midwestern Ill.
Boston
Temple
Case
Pitt
Tennessee
Marquette
Western
W. Va
NOVA
Kentucky
Maryland
UNLV
Rutgers
Sorry if I added any schools that I have no chance of getting into; I am not at all familiar with the particular statistics or requirements of the vast majority of the schools.
